I loved this resource so much! This is perfect for the stage that I’m in right now. You’ve given me so much to think about! One of the best parts is the budgeting spreadsheet. So helpful!

The childcare roadmap is great! I had 0 ideas about daycare so this helps me get thinking in an organized fashion. And the birth plan questionnaire is KILLER!

Meet The Mama
Kim Nissen, The Mama Behind the Roadmaps
Hi mama! I’m Kim. I’ve always wanted to be a mom. But I never expected to feel like Superwoman and as though the walls were caving in at the same time.
As a first-time mom, I had NO IDEA what I didn’t know. Now that I’m on the other side, I have so much insight to share with you—all right here!
With encouragement from Hubby, help from family, and input from fellow first-time mamas, (and a whole lot of coffee beans & bravery), my hope is that these go-to guides will be among your most informative as you start your amazing journey into motherhood.
XO, Kim
